79: Young Master Chu's culinary skills are truly remarkable!
Ye Qingyi's eyes suddenly lit up. She looked at You Lian and Dark Moon and said, "You Lian, Little Brother has finished frying one dish. Go bring it over first."
"Alright!" You Lian and the other immediately nodded and quickly walked into the kitchen.
They saw that next to Chu Yuan, four dishes were neatly arranged.
All four plates contained the same dish, which looked like stir-fried meat, but its color, aroma, and taste were all excellent, making anyone who saw it immediately salivate.
At this moment, Chu Yuan was already frying the second type of dish.
Seeing the two walk in, Chu Yuan glanced back and said, "I stir-fried a bit extra of this dish. There are three more dishes coming up, so you ladies can start eating."
Dark Moon smiled contentedly: "Alright, then we will take these out to the Venerable One first."
Saying this, the two grabbed a pair of chopsticks and were about to leave, carrying the four plates of food.
Just then, Chu Yuan remembered something and suddenly said, "Wait, the wine is also brewed. Try it and see if it tastes good!"
As his voice fell, he waved his hand, and two jars of qing you wine landed on the nearby table.
Seeing this, Dark Moon's eyes slightly brightened. "Don't worry, I can try it for the Venerable One first. If it doesn't taste good, I won't let her drink it."
After saying that, she lightly hooked her finger, and a wisp of Ghost Qi lifted the two jars of wine.
You Lian chuckled, naturally understanding Dark Moon's intentions.
The Venerable One was obsessed with eating and occasionally enjoyed fine wine as well.
Although Dark Moon wasn't obsessed with drinking, she was also extremely fond of fine wine.
Now that she saw Chu Yuan taking out two jars of wine, she naturally had expectations.
The two carried the dishes out. Illusion Concubine and the others quickly wanted to get up and help, but they saw a figure move faster than them.
Ye Qingyi gathered three plates of dishes in front of herself, looked at the others, and said, "That one plate can be for you, but the rest are mine!"
Hearing this, the others quickly nodded.
They understood their Venerable One too well; being given even one plate was already quite generous.
Just then, as Ye Qingyi was about to withdraw her gaze, she suddenly noticed the wine jars floating behind Dark Moon.
She asked suspiciously, "Dark Moon, where did you get that wine?"
Before her voice fell, she had already stuffed a mouthful of stir-fried meat into her mouth.
As the stir-fried meat entered her mouth, her eyes instantly widened, filled with pleasant surprise.
"Delicious!" she mumbled, lowering her head to continue devouring the stir-fried meat on the plate.
At this time, Dark Moon smiled and said, "Venerable One, didn't Young Master Chu say he wanted to learn how to brew wine? This is what he brewed. I'll taste it for you first."
Ye Qingyi nodded slightly, her cheeks puffed out, seemingly too busy to answer her.
You Lian looked at Ye Qingyi's appearance and seemed to understand something.
She tossed the chopsticks to Illusion Concubine and the five others, then eagerly picked up a piece and put it into her mouth.
"Mmm, the taste is different from roasted meat, but it's equally..." As she spoke, her voice abruptly cut off.
She glanced at Dark Moon and the others, lowered her head, and stopped talking, but the movement of her hands did not stop at all.
Seeing this scene, Dark Moon and the others instantly reacted and quickly joined the fight for the food.
Before long, the four plates were completely swept clean.
Ye Qingyi licked her red lips, still wanting more, her eyes full of surprise.
Illusion Concubine and the others also wore astonished expressions.
"To create such a delicacy using low-grade ingredients, Young Master Chu's Culinary Skills are truly remarkable!"
"Yes, it was too delicious!"
"No wonder the Master likes it. If it were me, I would like it too!"
"Indeed!" "..."
The group discussed animatedly, occasionally licking the corners of their lips, still wanting more.
"Little Brother has never disappointed me!"
Ye Qingyi also said a sentence, then immediately swept the kitchen with her Divine Thought, only to see that the second dish had not been stir-fried yet.
A hint of disappointment flashed across her beautiful eyes, but there was far more anticipation.
If the first dish was this delicious, what about the next three dishes?
She glanced at the kitchen, and then her gaze landed on the wine jar next to Dark Moon.
She saw her raise her hand and hook it, and one jar landed in her grasp.
Seeing this, Dark Moon quickly said, "Venerable One, Young Master Chu is brewing this for the first time after all. Let me try it first!"
"No need!" Ye Qingyi shook her head and laughed, "Whether the wine is good or not, one sniff is enough to tell!"
As she finished speaking, she raised her hand and flicked off the sealing mud.
In an instant, a rich aroma of wine assailed their noses, causing the eyes of the group to brighten.
Ye Qingyi took a deep breath of the wine aroma, a look of intoxication appearing in her eyes. She eagerly poured a cup and took a small sip.
The next moment, her eyes widened into perfect circles, and she exclaimed in surprise, "This wine is too delicious!"
The rich and mellow texture spread across her tongue, carrying a hint of sweetness that was just right.
"Come, everyone try some!"
Ye Qingyi waved her hand, took out a set of cups, and poured a cup for all six people.
Aside from the delicious food, she didn't mind sharing other things with You Lian and the others.
"Thank you, Venerable One!"
The group thanked her, raised their wine cups, and took a sip, their eyes all lighting up slightly.
"Mmm, delicious!"
"It is indeed delicious. I didn't expect wine brewed with low-grade spiritual materials to taste this good!"
"Wait a minute!" Illusion Concubine said in surprise, "Didn't Young Master Chu say he didn't know how to brew wine before? This doesn't seem like it!"
"Illusion Concubine, you wouldn't understand this. Among the Human Race, this is called talent!"
The Ghost Maiden wearing the pink gauze dress spoke, "Otherwise, how can you explain him reaching the Spirit Vortex Realm at the age of sixteen, and still mastering such profound Culinary Skills?"
"With this kind of talent, it's not strange that he can achieve this level the first time he brews wine."
The others nodded thoughtfully.
Ye Qingyi chuckled, "Ming Die is right. Some people cannot be measured by common sense. Illusion Concubine, stop being so suspicious."
As she spoke, she looked toward the kitchen, her face showing pleasant surprise: "You Lian, hurry, the second dish is ready!"
Hearing this, You Lian quickly nodded.
"I'll go too!" Dark Moon quickly followed, and sneakily took the jar of wine next to her.
Seeing this, Ye Qingyi and the others exchanged a smile and didn't say much.
With Chu Yuan around, would they ever lack wine?
Before long, the two came out carrying four plates of dishes.
It was still the same dish, but since the quantity was too much, it was divided into four plates.
Just like before, Ye Qingyi claimed three plates for herself, and the others shared one plate.
But this time, Ye Qingyi directly put away one plate before slowly and methodically eating the rest.
You Lian and the others finished sharing their plate, still wanting more, and looked toward the food in front of Ye Qingyi.
Ye Qingyi slightly narrowed her eyes, a dangerous light radiating from them.
Seeing this, the others guiltily averted their gazes.
Fortunately, they could still amuse themselves with the fine wine, which made things much better.
Before long, the third and fourth dishes were brought out successively and were quickly swept clean by everyone.
Seeing that Chu Yuan didn't plan to cook anymore, Ye Qingyi's eyes held a hint of disappointment.
But thinking of the three plates of delicacies she had put away, her mood instantly improved significantly.
"Venerable One, we will take our leave now!" Seeing that there was no more delicious food, Illusion Concubine and the others bid farewell.
Ye Qingyi nodded, "Go back, and cultivate well. Take whatever you need from the treasure vault!"
"Thank you, Venerable One!" The group nodded their thanks one after another, and their figures vanished from the small courtyard.
In the blink of an eye, only Ye Qingyi, Chu Yuan, Dark Moon, and You Lian remained at the scene.
"Little Brother, you really gave me a huge surprise!" Ye Qingyi chuckled, blinking her beautiful eyes playfully.
Dark Moon and the other didn't speak, but they also showed no intention of leaving, standing quietly to the side.
Chu Yuan vaguely understood Ye Qingyi's meaning, scratched his head, and smiled, "I just have a bit of talent in this area. As long as Elder Sister likes it!"
"Like it? Of course I like it!" Ye Qingyi nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of smiles, and said, "To reward you, I've decided to give you a gift!"
